Supply for village
Small northern Helipad in open area that services approx 50 residents in the area. Doctor available for call outs to passing ferry and drill platforms in the area if weather permits and Alseund or Unst are unavailable.
Decommissioned 2004 but still standing
Elf Aquitaine/Total SA owned and operated until October 2004. Still there hauntingly empty and covered in seagulls. Plans to have it sunk have yet to happen same with Frigg DP2 and others in the area but could affect current drilling platforms nearby so will likely will fall on their own or scavenged for parts.

Close to town
Small strip for charters, no regular commercial service. Locals will sell you food and drink just off the property and I met my future wife here.
Okavango, Chobe, Moremi and Makgadikgadi access
Good international airport to access the best Botswana game preserves and wetlands. Lots of charters fly out every day, strip is well maintained and tower control is impressive as clouds and mist can roll in dawn and dusk but doesn't seem to matter as long as the pilots have the cohones to do so :)
Easy flights if it's not raining
Flying from Port McQuarrie to Lord Howe Island for r&r/diving and encountered a large rain storm that came down in buckets. Had to circle for about an hour before tower advised it was okay to land. Still was certain we were going to skid off the end of the runway and into the ocean but we made it safe and the pilot shook everyones hand afterward (all 6 of us).
Hobby
I believe this is a hobby strip, literally packed earth and it's on private land so no public access.
Basic but good
Didn't fly in or out of here as we drove in to visit friends in the area but went to the airport to pick up some cargo. Fun town with some great bars but the locals can get rowdy so be aware and leave quickly if you must.
Love this airport every time
Been on international flights landing here on 6 occasions and domestic flights over 20 times in the past. Never had any issues with customs, finding information or connection times (when relevant). Easy to get around, customs is friendly and helpful and of course you are in Oz so things just feel better. Taxi lines can be crazy sometimes when hundreds of people get out at the same time but no major issues.
Charter flights
Flew in to Nord on a charter flight in the summer of 2003, the landing strip was well kept in the frozen land and even in summer it was quite cold there. Research and military personnel, no sun from mid-Nov to end of January, charters have to fly in daylight, military I heard was allowed to fly in at night..
Tourist landing area in summer
Was part of an Antarctic research vessel/cruise that allowed guests to walk around the area for a few hours and observe the thousands of Gentoo penguins there. A waterplane was observed coming in as we departed that evening, very easy to see, access and was a lot warmer that I had anticipated.
Practical but very close to town
Flying in to Kornasoren with Merpati Nusantara Airlines you think you will be hitting the trees or dropping into the water but it comes up and easy touchdown and take offs. The town is built around it basically so you can walk out of the "airport" and right on to the main street or the beach. Lots of commercial fishing in the area so some big boats off the shores, careful of sharks at dusk when the fishing ships drop their waste.
By Boat from Noemfoor
To get to Kamiri I was able to fly into Kornasoren/Noemfoor and convinced a local fishing guide to take me around the island where we landed at Kamiri and Namber and we overnighted on the boat. Exploring the sites for WWII historical reasons, there is a road around the island but slow going especially in rainy season so by boat was better and faster. Walk up the beach and through some dense bush to get to the former strip, people living in huts and tree-houses in the area living off the land, very quiet and serene there.

Exploring the sites for WWII historical reasons, there is a road around the island but slow going especially in rainy season so by boat was better and faster. Fishing village on the south coast from Namber (Rawisidori) was very friendly but only local dialect spoken but friendly and good cooks if you like fish.
Clear for miles
Flying in with Garuda from Makassar a number of years back not a cloud in sight, easy approach. Great airport, easy to get around (7 gates) and taxis to town are cheap.
Built by my grandfather
My grandfather was part of the battalion that built this strip as well as others in the area during WWII. I went out there by boat about 10 years ago from Biak Island, some bold pilots say you can still land there but it is not maintained in any way so the chances of hitting something are high. Beautiful island, deserted except for some fishermen who beach their boats during the day or camp overnight and lots of bats..

Thank you po
It was never that great, but has GONE DOWNHILL!
The last time I landed here was about 5 years ago and thought despite the negative reviews I would drop in recently. The recent reviews were accurate. Not certain who would buy it, but I won't be returning. St. Catharines airport is the best in the area with lots to do and good facilities! I wonder what happened on that plane crash that occurred there last year. Hushed up!

— @jwatsontravel at Lizard Island Airport, Australia
Small island that's mostly a national park, a bit pricey to get to and stay at although you can charter a flight from Cape Flattery or cheaper and better to get a boat to take you out and prearrange a time/date for them to pick you up too. The Lizard Island resort does have charter boats you can use or try to get on with a scientific crew going to the research station on the island.
